i had a look @ the pic
it seems other equipment is disturbing the reception, through
diconnect/reconnect you may find the offending part, from my
experience it could be a vcr power supply putting a high frequency
into the antenna line,
disconnect everything then connect the antenna directly to the crt
screen & see if that gets a clear reception
sometimes it's poor grounding (the outer part of the antenna plug not
connecting......)

Hi,
I was was about to setup EYeTV to record a show yesterday when my
screen started
getting a mess/mesh of dots and lines. Not just on the PowerBook
15" but on my TV (CRT)
that it is connected to also.
The external HDD started unexpectedly removing itself invoking
Device Removal warnings.
This happened not long after upgrading some system software and
repairing permissions.
It's has OS 10.4.11
When I started it this morning it was clear until I moved the PB
screen to view it better.
But moving it again doesn't make it clear.
And it wasn't movement that made it go off the first time or other
times.
I've tried re-setting PRAM, removing everything connected to it
and replacing the ram module but it made no difference.
From the Preferences the screen details are Model: 00009C20 and
Manufacture Date: B87B9680
See a picture of the faulty screen here..

Has my PowerBook become useless or can it be easily fixed?
Thank you for looking.
